Apparently I cannot be trusted to reapply sunscreen… 😂
Last night I swam in a bioluminescent bay by La Parguera and it was magical! Every time I moved my arms and legs, the water would light up! And even when I wasn’t moving, the water would just sparkle… This is what I picture it would look like to “swim” through space :) Oh, and just so you know, the bioluminescence was whiteish, not blue like you see in the pictures.
Today, I slept in, had some avocado toast topped with delicious cherry tomatoes, slipped into my bikini and headed to Parque Laguna del Condado to snorkel. I swam along the shore and a manatee snuck up on me! Apparently I was right above the sea grass it wanted to eat and was waiting patiently for me to move. I swam back a few feet and then a BABY MANATEE showed up! Hands down, one of the coolest experiences of my life. They’re such chunky and sweet creatures ❤️ They come up for air every few minutes and then it’s straight back to snacking on the sea grass. I eventually swam off and found a variety of colorful fish and got to see four sea turtles! They are massive! Not like the little box turtles back in New Mexico. And they’re so fast… one swam around me and then I just disappeared! I can’t believe you can just wade into the water at this little beach and see such beautiful creatures. I spent a lot of time snorkeling with my ass out of the water which is probably how it got so badly burned… P.S. Remember; if you see manatees, it’s okay to observe them, but don’t touch them! :)
After drying off on the beach, I drove to Old San Juan and found Parque de Los Gatos (“Cat Park”). There SO MANY cats!!! It took forever to pet them all but I did it. Once they discovered I had cat treats, I became the most popular person in the area 😂 OH! I donated a good chunk to the cat rescue there. The vet spays/neuters them, treats them for illnesses, and makes sure they’re fed everyday. Since you guys pay for my page, you are now complicit in the donation to help the cats :D Thank you ❤️❤️
It’s all thanks to viewers like you. Thank you. (<— for those of you that were raised on PBS and remember that phrase 😂)
Before heading back to the hotel, I stopped at a restaurant called “Hotties Bar and Restaurant” and they made delicious food! I ordered grilled chicken with a mushroom sauce on top and risotto on the side. It was a legendary meal 👅💦💦
I am now going to go aloe Vera my butt cheeks and hope that it doesn’t burn seeing as I fly back home tomorrow afternoon and will be sitting on my little butt for hours 😅
